I did. I used the VIP and all my food is upgraded to to level 3. I have the counter upgraded to level 2. Generally for the series finales, I tend to use the venue's VIP on all Series Finale levels and try to score as much as possible so the extra points will be carried through to the next game. Sometimes I will use the gold for extra time If I'm really close in the last level as opposed to starting over.
